    Hello,

    I just want to be sure I am clear on this...

    smtpd_sasl_auth is for incoming connections (ie, if one of my users
    wants to be able to send mail remotely from their home connections), and

    smtp_sasl_auth is for postfix's outgoing/relay capability, ie, if I want
    to relay outgoing mail through my ISPs smtp server and they require
    authentication

    Is this correct?

    Also, am I correct that in order to switch from using a relayhost that
    doesn't require auth (specified just as:

    relayhost = [smtp.domain.com]

    I would:

    1. comment out the relayhost setting in main.cf

    2. enable:

    smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
    smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

    3. Put the necessary entries in sasl_passwd

    4. postmap the file, then

    5. reload postfix?

    -- 
    Best regards,
    Charles
